Abstract

Employee performance has been at the helm of academic research over the years. The changing nature of work has unearthed several antecedents of job performance. The purpose of this study was to examine employee performance through the development of Idiosyncratic deals and Leader-Member-Exchange-quality lens of antecedents. The study is anchored on the social exchange theory. The hypotheses were tested on a sample of 325 employees of ICT firms in Uganda, using a cross-sectional survey. Three hundred two responses were used for analysis after cleaning of data. The direct hypotheses were tested using correlation analysis, while the mediation was tested using the Hayes Process macro model 4. The results supported the relationship between development idiosyncratic deals and employee performance and LMX quality and employee performance. This study found a significant mediating role of LMX-quality on the relationship between development idiosyncratic deals and employee performance. The study made contributions to the literature on idiosyncratic deals, employee performance, leader-member exchange quality as well, as the Social exchange theory. The study recommends adopting good quality LMX relationships to enhance the role of development idiosyncratic deals on employee performance among ICT firms.

Abstract

Purpose- The paper examines the relationship between strategic direction, core competencies, and firm competitiveness among manufacturing firms in Uganda. Design/Methodology- This study collected quantitative data from 410 manufacturing firms using self-administered questionnaires, while qualitative data was collected from 10 manufacturing firms using an interview guide. Quantitative data were augmented by qualitative methods, allowing us to comprehend the phenomenon under study completely. To study the nature of reality, an explanatory cross-sectional survey was employed. While the content analysis was used to investigate qualitative data, regression analysis was used to evaluate hypotheses. Findings- According to the research, a firm's competitiveness improves when its executives concentrate on their capabilities. The findings validated the theoretical foundations of the resource-based viewpoint. Practical Implications- As a result of the findings, manufacturing firms may increase strategic leadership's influence on competitiveness by ensuring that workers have proper directions and that the core competencies are identified and leveraged to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in operations. The findings may assist CEOs and policymakers design strategies and policies to increase the level of competitiveness of their firms.
